JIRA Integration DOORS NG

The integration of JIRA with IBM Rational DOORS NG brings transparency in the application delivery ecosystem.

The product management teams get complete visibility into the progress of development work, and the development teams have direct access to the customer requirements and any changes/enhancements made to the requirements.

JIRA DOORS NG Integration Overview

In an Application Lifecycle Management (ALM) ecosystem, the choice of systems and the collaboration between the cross-functional teams play a great role. While the choice of systems impacts the productivity of a team, the cross-functional collaboration helps the teams get complete context of the business requirements.

Best-of-breed systems such as IBM Rational DOORS NG and JIRA bring rich functionalities to the ecosystem. By integrating IBM Rational DOORS NG and JIRA, the development teams will have real-time visibility into business requirements, and the product management teams will be able to trace all user stories and test cases associated with the requirement. As the overall collaboration in the ecosystem would increase, enterprises will deliver better quality products to customers at a faster pace.

OpsHub Integration Manager integrates IBM Rational DOORS NG and JIRA bi-directionally. It ensures that all historical and current data is available to each user, in that user’s preferred system, with full context, in real-time. All ‘requirements’ from IBM Rational DOORS NG automatically synchronize to JIRA and all the details associated with the ‘requirement’ synchronize back to IBM Rational DOORS NG.

Use Case: JIRA integration with IBM Rational DOORS NG

Problem statement: When the development and requirement management systems are not integrated, any additional update to the ‘requirement’ must be manually notified to the development team.

Solution: When JIRA and DOORS NG are integrated, any update to a ‘requirement’ in DOOR NG will be automatically notified to the development team in real time. This will help them with buffer time to internally reschedule the tasks and no updates would ever fall through the cracks.

The Requirement Management team creates a ‘requirement’ for a feature requested by the customer in the Requirement Management system – DOORS NG.

The Product Manager approves the ‘requirement’.

The ‘requirement’ synchronizes to the development system, JIRA, as a ‘user story’.

The development team breaks the ‘requirement’ into ‘tasks’ and starts work on the ‘tasks’.

Meanwhile, the customer adds a small additional request (for example, additional of a new text field) to be included in the ‘requirement’.

The Requirement Management team updates the ‘requirement’. This update automatically gets notified to the development team as the ‘additional request’ gets synchronized to the user story.

The development team plans for this additional task.
